iPad Music Stand

If you, like me, use your iPad as your music pad on Jazz gigs, or any gigs for that matter you will most likely need a stand to put it on.

Given that the iPad is a pretty expensive piece of kit I decided to find a secure way of placing it on a stand without the danger of it falling off and breaking during a concert. Luckily the well established manufacturer of quality music stands K&M make a perfect iPad holder. It is available from the German international music cyber-store www.thomann.de.

The stand not only securely holds the iPad (IorII) but you still have easy access to your buttons and controls and the holder swivels so that you can read landscape or portrait charts. It is mic stand mountable (in fact that is the only way to use it) which means that you can easily adjust it’s position to suit your needs, depending on which mic stand you are using.

Beware, iPad I and iPad II are different sizes, there is therefore a different holder for each model. Make sure (un-like me) that you buy the correct one! If anyone out there is in Copenhagen and needs a holder for an iPad I just let me know…. I have a spare.
